It's a new challenge over at my
My first thought was Washi Tape Flip Flops
as one does!
First I needed to gather some stash together and
this is just some of what I eventually used.
I drew a rough shape out on paper until I was happy
that it resembled a flip flop base and then cut
a left /right out from corrugated card
to give the appearance of a sole.
I stuck two strips of washi tape back to back on a sheet of paper
for the straps.
I embossed a sheet of white card with
SU's Decorative dots folder to represent the base and
coloured with distressed ink to make them look worn.
I puched holes in the bases and threaded the
washi tape straps through and then
decorated with embellishments in my stash.
Butterflies were cut from a satin strip.
I also cut out more white card to make the
bottoms and used distress ink to age.
